Updated from 5.9.2.x to 5.9.6.1 and the jailbreak works well.

Sadly, the kindle is broken the frontlight and the hall sensor/magnetic controller are on the same strip, so I have to have both or neither. I used the KUAL helper (to disable screensaver) and it worked in stopping it from shutting down, but the light still goes on and off. At least it doesn't turn off anymore. The jailbreak helped me diagnose the issue and I can have it working mostly correct. Very welcome flawless jailbreak.

Thanks for making my out of warranty kindle work, without it, it just shut down every 3 seconds.
